Product : Fedora Core 3Name : cvsVersion : 1.11.17Release : 4Summary : A version control system.Description :CVS (Concurrent Version System) is a version control system that can record the history of your files (usually, but not always, source code). CVS only stores the differences between versions, instead of every version of every file you have ever created. CVS also keeps a log of who, when, and why changes occurred.

CVS is very helpful for managing releases and controlling the concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. Instead of providing version control for a collection of files in a single directory, CVS provides version control for a hierarchical collection of directories consisting of revision controlled files. These directories and files can then be combined together to form a software release.

Replaced the old SCCS migration script from one that required tcsh/csh (not installed on all systems) to one that uses Perl. Only useful if you have some old Un*x SCCS repositories that you wish to convert from SCCS to RCS/CVS.---------------------------------------------------------------------* Mon Nov 01 2004 Adrian Havill havill@redhat.com 1.11.17-4
